‘It just feels really degrading’: New Facilities building sparks controversy among employees

Plans for the construction of a new Facilities building on Water Street are underway but have been met with resistance from some members of the department. The new building, which will be located in the old “dirt lot,” will consolidate multiple branches of Facilities into one building in order to make room for the new Athletics and Recreation Complex (ARC). Currently, Facilities is spread across three buildings: Planning, Design & Construction (PD&C) in Miller House on South Street; General Maintenance, Architectural Trades, Custodial Services, Environmental Health & Safety, and Horticulture and Grounds in the Facilities Services Building on Latham Street; and Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Trades, located at the bottom of the steam plant near Meacham Street.
